Freedonia Market Research Press Releases New Freedonia Report Details Market Share for Key Global Water Treatment Companies

New Freedonia Report Details Market Share for Key Global Water Treatment Companies

by Corinne Gangloff

August 2, 2019

According to Global Water Treatment Equipment & Chemicals, a new industry study from The Freedonia Group, the worldwide water treatment industry was a fragmented $87.8 billion industry in 2018, with the top three suppliers representing less than 8% of all sales.

More information about the study is here:

Multinationals Dominate Worldwide Water Treatment Market

For the most part, the global water treatment market is populated by major international manufacturing and chemical firms, though smaller local participants play an important role in regional supply. In 2018, the list of top water treatment companies included:

  • Danaher (US)
  • Ecolab (US)
  • Evoqua Water Technologies (US)
  • Kemira (Finland)
  • SNF (France)
  • Solenis (US)
  • SUEZ (France)

Most of the top tier water treatment equipment and chemical suppliers manufacture both types of product in order to take advantage of existing customer bases and institutional knowledge. However, some firms do specialize in one or the other. Equipment manufacturers tend to focus on water treatment and/or filtration specifically, while chemical suppliers usually only offer water treatment chemicals as a subset of their more expansive overall operations.
